This is not right. No one should be able to seize someones vacant property. What about people out of town that own property that do not visit it for years (pay taxes on it) and hold it as an investment or plan to retire on it years after they purchase the property. Only a person that holds a deed to said property has any right to it, and it in my opinion does not matter if he “uses” it or “sits” on it. The Asheville Tea Party is asking you to work to get rid of these unjust general statutes.
